Re: problem serial/USB stick and Xaster

Hi Curt (and all others that have replied offline).


First of all.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I just got back from a week abroad.

I've just reasked the question overthere.

But I was actually more thinking in a line of problems of (say) 
differences in the "ioctl" commands when using the xastir and minicom; 
so perhaps something more system-level and not related to one particular 
program.

Well, I also have the same problem as root (with sudo) so I do not think 
it's a problem of rights.
That would probably have resulted in Xastir not receiving anything at 
all. Here I do receive something but it's 'kind of" mixed up. (not 
completely, some words do are OK, like a "OFF" and "ON" or some digits)

Oh. Something else I forgot to mention.

Sending does work. When I start up Xastir or issue a "Transmit now!" (in 
the "interfaces" menu) the tranceiver does send, so I guess we van 
conclude from that the USB-port does send valid commands to the TNC.
(the messages I received at startup seams to indicate the same thing).
